I don't think DBD::Oracle modifies your SQL or even cares about it other than if you've used bound parameters (where it /might/ parse the SQL to locate them). Oracle does support left outer joins. Show us a code snippet, the SQL and the error and we might be able to diagnose. Martin -- Martin J. Evans Easysoft Limited http://www.easysoft.com
